How do we know this world is real?

In this episode, we explore this crazy idea: the possibility that we’re living in a simulation. I break down what a simulation is, why some of the smartest people in the world believe that we probably are, and how the questioning our reality has been around for thousands of years.

I also get into the science and philosophy of it all. If you're ready for a deep conversation that might even make you feel uncomfortable, but also completely open your mind, this episode is for you!

Tired of not hitting your goals? Let's make 2026 be the year you finally do.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why habits, not motivation or willpower, are the real foundation of lasting change. We’re talking about how small, repeated behaviors shape your identity, why focusing on goals alone often backfires, and how to design habits that actually stick.

We cover:

• Why habits matter more than motivation
• The biggest mistake people make when trying to improve their life
• Why focusing on goals alone keeps people stuck
• The difference between goals (what you want) and systems (how you get there)
• The 4 rules for building habits that actually stick

By prioritizing building better habits this year, you'll make 2026 YOUR year! 💪

2025 wasn’t a highlight-reel year for me. Instead, it was a year of growth. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the hard, uncomfortable, and necessary lessons this year taught me about investing in myself, building a business, friendships, taking up space, and letting go of outcomes I can’t control.

If you’re in a season where you’re questioning your path, feeling misunderstood, or realizing that growth requires more responsibility than you expected, this episode is for you.

Make sure to stay until the end of the episode to hear the final lesson I learned, and how that's changing my whole journey for 2026!

1. How to audit the past year without spiraling into self-judgment
2. How to write a future vision that actually motivates you
3. Why choosing 3–4 life categories is more powerful than trying to do everything

In this episode, I’m joined by Krystal Jugarap — founder of Book of Bijoux and EM/POWEREDbyWMN — for a powerful conversation about intuition, leadership, and what it really means to trust yourself as a woman building something meaningful.

Krystal has built multiple brands rooted in heart-led leadership, and throughout this conversation, she shares how intuition has guided her entrepreneurial journey, even when it didn’t make sense on paper. We explore the difference between intuition and fear, the courage it takes to disappoint others in order to stay aligned, and how women can reconnect with their inner guidance in a world that prioritizes productivity and perfection.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your intuition, questioned your inner knowing, or struggled to trust yourself as you grow personally or professionally, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the most popular spiritual trends — from breathwork and vision boards to crystals, tarot, grounding, and sound baths — and exploring which ones are actually worth the hype 🔥

I’m sharing the practices that are backed by science, psychology, and real nervous system regulation, along with the ones that are more symbolic than transformational. You’ll also hear about my first deep breathwork experience (having visions of the cosmos and the sun god Ra) and how to discern between tools that truly support your growth versus ones that are just spiritual “busywork.”

If you’re someone who wants to deepen their spiritual practice without the fluff, or maybe you’re just here with popcorn for the hot takes, this episode is for you.

Numbers aren’t just math, they’re energy. In this episode, we’re diving deep into numerology, the spiritual science that reveals your soul’s purpose, gifts, and life cycles through the power of numbers.

You’ve probably heard of angel numbers like 111 or 444, but numerology takes that idea to a whole new level. It’s based on the idea that the universe is made of vibration and frequency, and numbers are the language of that vibration.

Join me as I break down:
 💫 What numerology actually is and how it works
 🔢 Why numbers are considered the “language of the universe”
 🧬 The energetic meaning behind each Life Path Number (1–9, plus Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33)
 💖 How to calculate your Life Path Number and what it reveals about your soul’s purpose
 📅 How to find your Personal Year Number, what 2025’s energy means for you, and how can apply this to 2026

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how numerology acts like matrix code for your soul, a roadmap showing who you came here to be and what cycles you’re currently moving through.
